Hey. You know the bricksaic interface is also a really nice fit for a program to reproduce patterned bricks in ldraw. I gave it a whirl posterizing the only pattern I had a scan of and it did a fairly nice job.

You could use a few paint options to touch up the spotty pixels in the lego colored image. I imagine that’d be handy for mosaics as well.

Then all you need is a button that runs the image thru autotrace, followed by Rosco’s text2dat code (hacked up just a bit to handle autotrace output instead of freetype data). The results might just be good enough to pass the ldraw.org standards.

Whatcha all think?

Happy to investigate autotrace input, if someone can point me to a spec, or even better some code to parse it ;)

Some test data would be useful too...
